Summary

I just loved this discussion with Abbie, from M is for Mama. She is a mom of 10, with four of those being two sets of identical twins! She graciously shares her evolution as a mom, what got her through the harder seasons and how she is able to take things in stride with the perspective that comes from seeing some of your kids grow beyond the baby phase. She has so much wisdom to share with all of us!

Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. One of my most popular episodes ever was episode 80

0:07.3

where I chatted with Abby Halberstadt from MS4Mama over on Instagram. She has 10 kids, two sets of

0:15.0

twins. She and I are chatting again today. We're going to be talking overwhelmed, priorities,

0:20.3

how to get it all done. All of that good motherhood stuff as well as just whatever else comes to mind.

0:25.2

Abby is super well spoken. She just really has a way with language. She actually has a new book

0:32.0

that I am so excited to read. It ships out on February 1st. So we're going to be chatting a little

0:35.7

bit about that as well. My name is Lisa, mom of six and creator of the blog and YouTube channel

0:41.7

Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch

0:47.6

cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way. So nice to chat with you again.

0:55.7

You too. So during your book officially, I know that it's available to order, but they're shipping

1:04.4

soonish. Okay, the point of the book is mediocre motherhood. We live in a culture where

1:14.0

we're constantly bombarded with the whole hot mess thing. I know you talk about that on your

1:18.6

1:32.8

mediocre motherhood. Like how could any mother of eutraps mediocre given all that we do?

1:38.4

And to some extent, I agree with that. We are constantly going to one of the next

1:43.0

changing hats all day long, but it's kind of our attitude that makes this mediocre. It's not

1:48.2

what we're doing, or even sometimes how we're doing it, though sometimes it is both of those things.

1:52.9

Yeah. I mean, I know from day to day that I am more or less excellent in my choices based on how

2:03.1

in tune I am with with Lord, that's going to do today, or whatever I'm going to I will

2:06.5

warning, or they're literally not, but, but our attitude, if it's one of like, hey,
